NSW Department of Communities and Justice / Social and Affordable Housing Fund - EOI Registration - FACS.16.10

The Social and Affordable Housing Fund (SAHF) is a dedicated fund established as a key NSW Government initiative to help address the Social and Affordable Housing shortage in NSW. It seeks to deliver additional Social and Affordable Housing Dwellings through innovative partnerships between CHPs, NGOs and the private sector. The SAHF has been structured to allow for future phases.

The first phase of the SAHF (the Program) provides a unique and long term opportunity for a highly professional entity, or groups of entities, to provide Services for the Social and Affordable Housing sector for up to 25 years.

The Program provides an innovative approach to the delivery of a sustainable Social Housing system in NSW that is services-focussed to achieve high-quality target outcomes for tenants. It is a critical element of the NSW Government’s Social and Affordable Housing reforms detailed in the Future Directions for Social Housing in NSW.

The Program will likely be comprised of multiple Service Packages and presents an opportunity for entities or consortia to work collaboratively with FACS to deliver better outcomes for vulnerable people and to form ongoing partnerships with the non-government and private sectors to deliver those outcomes. Each Service Package will include:

• accommodation services, including 3,000 new social and affordable housing dwellings in metropolitan areas and regional areas of NSW;
• asset management services;
• tenancy management services;
• tailored support coordination services; and
• performance and data reporting.
